About JJ Stone Craft

HANDMADE OBSIDIAN KNIVES

Our knives are made of obsidian found in the Cascade Range in North America. Each knife is handcrafted using an ancient technique called flintknapping. This chipping technique was passed down by our ancestors in the Stone Age, when cavemen used stones to create hunting tools. After nearly 3 million years, this survival skill has been transformed into an art, and is still used to create tools by traditional knife makers and Native American cultures.

WHAT IS OBSIDIAN?

Obsidian is volcanic rock formed from cooled lava. Often called volcanic glass, it is hard and brittle, and is one of the sharpest objects on earth. Though originally used by cavemen to create hunting tools such as knives and arrowheads, it is still used today to create surgical scalpels and skinning knives.
